People expect the set to include hits like Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, and Paradise City, mixed with some recent songs. The group has played over 50 different tracks during their recent shows, pulling from their catalog to keep things fresh.

This tour features a shift in the lineup, with Isaac Carpenter taking over on drums. The band named him as the new drummer in March, replacing Frank Ferrer, and he brings experience from groups like AWOLNATION. Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan remain at the core, delivering the hard rock sound that defines Guns N Roses.

Promoters Backstage Magazine and En Orbita handle the event, set to start at 6 p.m. The band plans rehearsals in Costa Rica before the performance, adding a local touch to their prep. Tickets went on sale after the announcement, with Nightrain fan club presale on June 23 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by general sales.

Prices range from ₡42,000 (about $74) for the cheapest spots to ₡210,000 (around $366) for premium areas, available through Kuikpei. Half the tickets sold out in hours after sales opened, so act fast if you want in.

The concert allows attendees 15 and older, after promoters added sections for that age group. Originally set for 18+, the change came from Mercury Concerts to include more fans. Under-18s need an adult companion. Check official vendors or the band’s site for updates, as resellers often mark up prices.

Social media buzz shows excitement, with fans sharing tour stats and resale offers. One post noted the band’s recent global run visited 30 cities in 27 countries. This marks their second time in Costa Rica, building on past shows that drew big crowds.

If you follow the band from way back or just like solid rock nights, this event fits the bill. Grab tickets soon through trusted spots to avoid missing out. The show promises high energy and those timeless riffs that keep Guns N Roses relevant.
